I was browsing Craigslist late last night when I came across this Danelectro 56 U-3 reissue from the 90s. It was a pretty good deal with a hard case thrown in so I felt the need to jump on it. She’s in terrific condition with the person I bought it from being the original owner. 3 lipstick pickups, aluminum nut, gotoh tuners, slim neck, and no dings. I can’t wait to plug her in later tonight!

Cuz every one always forgets about the bass players 😭

Now that's just not true... someone has to load the van.

(I kid. I play both... and a few other things.)

OP: Nice Danelectro. I've got a Korean 59 NOS+ and while I have guitars worth ten times as much, it still pops up in the rotation regularly.

Are you referring to TB Player of the Oneders? He made a commitment to Uncle Sam when he enlisted!

First reference I've ever seen to TB player and that film. Congrats to you!
